Here's blooms from today
Sprinkle Rain
Ohio blooms
They are similar, but it doesn't have the extra "poodle" tail on it. (I don't know if that is what is is called. We have the el capitalio. also
yup
Those are really nice hibs Patrick, I've notice that you sure love the pink one. Your wife and Lexie are sure doing a good job pollinating your hibs, say hellow to them and keep up the good work, hope my tips helped you and you get a lot more seeds of them.

p.s. the cutting I planet for Lexie is still green, I really hope it takes to roots for her

Lexie loves pink, anything pink, I bought her four hibs just because they are pink. Me I like them all they are addicting. They say hello back, my wife is a pollinating fool, she is out there every morning to see which blooms are opened, today she started tagging them, because she doesn't want to forget what she pollinated it with, tomorrow we should have Key Lime Pie and Briar Patch open, that is the ones she is waiting to pollinate.she wants to see how the lime green and brown looks together, it will take a couple of years but it is worth the wait.
Here are some of our seedlings, these are seeds from Austrialia

Your tips really helped out alot, it is so much easier to pollinate your way than the way we was doing it, I think we now have around 10 pods going.
She can't wait to see her hib named after her, we will have to send you something in return for naming and sending Lexie her very own Hibiscus.

Well you can tell your wife it makes two of use then, since I get up every morning and go out to see what blooms have opened so I can pollinate them, the only difference is I can't tag them all since most of the ones I got didn't have a name to them when I got them, but that doesn't stop me from pollinating them.
Lexie mite like pink but when I finally get to send her the yellow Hib I named after her, she just mite add a new color to her favorite, your like me than, love all their colors and their combinations.
I would like to see that Key Lime Pie when it opens, and Briar Pactch also, please take photos and send a pick to my d-mail besides putting them on the forum, and your right about waiting a year to find out what you got, like said, well worth it.
How did you get seeds from Australia, would like to send for some.
Your seedling look great, pretty soon you'll have something like this.

Super photos Patrick. Thanks for sharing them with us.
